Christmas day was so much fun! After meeting Reagan and her family for breakfast, we headed over to Nana and Pops to open our presents. The boys got the neatest toys - little remote control bus, garbage truck and fire truck, Caterpillar trucks that beep and talk, and a fun traffic light. Lucas liked to hang out with Pops and help him put toys together while Jaxon would pair up with Aunt Leigha, Daddy or Bruiser for a few minutes at a time. Wyatt liked to take his time opening the presents, making sure every bit of paper was off before he would look to see what was inside.

It was wonderful seeing the boys get excited about their new toys or listening to them laugh when they would try to tear into the wrapping paper. So much fun and laughter -just how a family Christmas is meant to be.

Christmas Eve we went to Nana & Pops to celebrate the holiday with family and friends. Everyone from Gram Robinson, Uncle Ray’s family to little Reagan was there, along with the Smith’s and of course, Nana, Pops, Leigha and TJ. You boys loved playing with Mallory, keeping her busy chasing you through out the house. Your Dad and I have celebrated most holidays with all these people since before we were married, and it meant so much to add you three boys to the mix.

Tonight we stopped by Nana & Pops house and saw they had picked up a fresh Christmas
tree. All the bright ornaments really caught your attention! You boys loved picking out your own to hang on the tree. Poor Nana lost a few ornaments tonight when you tried to make the glass ones bounce. Three separate times.

Watching you boys play "Ring around the Rosie" brought a huge smile to my face. Seeing the little people I love so much being so carefree and really enjoying each other warmed my heart.

We went to the Gift of Lights and you boys were mesmerized. Slowly we drove through the park hearing little “wow”s coming from the backseat. The light show lasted about 15 minutes and still you were asking for more when it was over. It is so neat to see things like this through your eyes.

My mom gave me this flower kit, and I secretly wanted to throw it away. Plants don’t usually do well in my hands. However, I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, so I followed the directions on the box and planted the bulb with the dirt it included. Only a week or so later it started to grow and now I am so thankful for the beautiful Amaryllis.

Tonight we made our gingerbread house. You were so eager to help and loved all the colors (and tastes) of the candy. All three of you kept sneaking little bites in your mouth. You were heart broken when we made you stop eating the candy, but were happy once we let you eat the gingerbread men. I think this will be our first family tradition.

You boys are so into Christmas lights this year. “More lights” you all say as we drive around town. Up and down the streets we go so you can get a look at the lights in the neighborhoods.
Your Dad was excited to get our Christmas decorations up for you. Even though he is not a big fan of ladders, he spent well over 3 hours painstakingly putting up all the different lights and decorations. I think he did a beautiful job!
You especially love the manger we made and like to tell “bee-bee Gee-bee” (Baby Jesus) “night-night”.

Today we brought you for your second this year to see Santa Claus. We didn’t have high hopes and thought you might be shy or maybe even freak out a bit (again).
Luckily, you finally warmed up to Santa. We all sat down on his bench as his helper quickly took our picture.
Jaxon even gave Santa a high-five before we left!

While the boys were napping, Don gathered some discarded wood pieces and a pallet from a nearby field.
By the time the boys woke up, we had built a manger for our Nativity scene.
